Deadpool continues to interrupt his message by singing a few familiar songs, including Baha Men’s “Who Let The Dogs Out.”

Five Free Steam Weekend Games Available Right Now

If you’re searching for a PC game to play this weekend and you don’t want to break the bank, it’s time to boot up Steam. This weekend, you can download and play five games at no cost: Payday 2, Arma 3, Day of Infamy, Front Defense: Heroes, and OrbusVR. They’re all free to play through April 29. And if you decide to purchase any of them, you’ll get a discount as they’re all currently on sale.

Payday 2 is a multiplayer game that lets you and a team of scoundrels plan and attempt to pull of crimes of all sorts. You can rob banks, stores, and nightclubs. You can cook meth and steal from senators. In our Payday 2 review, we wrote, “The systems and mechanics all have small flaws and limitations, but they come together to set the stage for exciting heists that you’ll want to pull again and again. As long as you can find some felons to fight alongside, Payday 2 is an addictive and challenging criminal pursuit.”

Arma 3 is a multiplayer-focused war game that also has a single-player campaign, while Day of Infamy is a WWII shooter. Front Defense: Heroes also takes place during WWII but is designed as a VR game for HTC Vive. Orbus VR, which works on both Vive and Oculus Rift, is a room-scale MMO that’s currently in early access.

If you play these games for free and want to buy any of them when the weekend is over, here are the links you’ll need, along with their sale prices:

Last Chance On PS4 Pro’s Best Deal Yet In The US

Maybe the God of War review scores sold you on the console. Maybe you just got a 4K television and you want to see just how crisp those visuals can get. There are many reasons you may be in the market for a PS4 Pro. If you’ve decided to take the plunge, here’s the best deal available by far: Between now and April 28, Target is selling the 1TB PS4 Pro console for $320. That’s a savings of $80.

Here’s what you have to do to get it. First, download the Target Cartwheel app and add the 20% off PlayStation 4 Pro Hardware coupon. Then go to a brick-and-mortar Target store that has the console in stock, and present the coupon when you check out. That’s it.

The deal is not available online, nor is it valid with any PS4 Pro bundles. If you have a Target Redcard, you get an additional 5% off the discounted price. But even without that, it’s a killer deal for a powerful piece of hardware that normally costs $400.

In GameSpot’s PS4 Pro review, Jimmy Thang wrote, “Should you buy a PlayStation 4 Pro? If you have a 4K HDR TV and are looking to buy a console, I’d definitely recommend the PS4 Pro. Even if you have a 1080p TV and are looking to buy a PlayStation, I’d still lean more toward the Pro. Yes, it does cost $100 more than the Slim model, but you get more ports, twice the storage space, more future-proof hardware in the event that you ever decide to get a 4K TV, and some games can look slightly better at 1080p.

“If you already have a PS4, however, I wouldn’t make the upgrade unless you have a 4K HDR TV and the extra cash lying around. Graphics enthusiasts may appreciate the improved anti-aliasing and more vibrant colors, but the differences likely won’t blow most people away.”

If you want a PS4 Pro in your gaming arsenal, start by downloading the Target Cartwheel app on iPhone or Android.

Avengers: Infinity War’s After-Credits Scene — What Does It Mean?

Avengers: Infinity War is finally here. The arrival of “destiny” as promised by Thanos, after ten long years of waiting and 18 movies, the moment we’ve been waiting for has come. It brought with it a whole bunch of questions, most importantly: what do we do now? With the movie’s post-credits scene, that becomes just a tiny bit more clear.

The end of Infinity War is very literally an end–the actual, genuine annihilation of half the universe at the hands of Thanos, armed with a fully powered Infinity Gauntlet. Not exactly the feel good, heroic, triumphant superhero vibe of Avengers past. Thanos has won, and from where we’re sitting, it looks like his victory is absolute.

But all hope isn’t lost. Though Infinity War deviates from Marvel’s post-credits formula slightly by including only one stinger, rather than what’s become the customary two, the movie’s final moments give us the briefest glimpse of what’s on the horizon.

Here’s the scene: Nick Fury and Maria Hill speed through a New York City that is slowly descending into chaos. As Fury notes that something big is happening in Wakanda, he tells Hill to get in touch with someone named Klein, likely this guy from Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron–which may point to more progress in Fury’s somewhat forgotten efforts to rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D in the wake of its official Hydra-fueled destruction.

But the effects of Thanos’s finger-snap are reverberating across the galaxy and, one by one, people are disappearing at random. This means literally anyone–pilots, drivers, pedestrians–vanishing into thin air, no matter what they may have been in the middle of. So naturally, as more and more people crumble, helicopters are crashing, cars are veering off the road–you get the idea. The world is not in a great place, and Fury and Hill are left trying to puzzle through what’s happening.

Unfortunately, even their time is limited. As they scramble out of their car, Hill begins to crumble and abruptly vanishes, leaving Fury on his own. He pulls out a device–something that looks almost like a beeper–and dials out just as he himself begins to disintegrate.

This guy might turn out important?
This guy might turn out important?

As Fury blows away in the wind, the device he was holding clatters to the ground and we’re left staring at what we can only assume is the transmission of a distress signal. Though there is no text on the screen to give an official destination, a symbol or logo soon appears–the blue, red and gold emblem associated with none other than Captain Marvel.

We’ve known for some time that a Captain Marvel movie is coming–set photos of Brie Larson in costume have been filtering in since filming kicked off–but her role in the still unnamed Avengers 4 remains shrouded in mystery, just like the rest of the film. We do know, however, that her solo movie will be released in March of next year (two months prior to the next Avengers, due in May) and be set in the ’90s, which leaves her in an interesting position considering Infinity War‘s very present day ending.

Just how long has Fury known about Captain Marvel? Where has she been all this time? Is the distress signal actually going to Carol Danvers or is it going to someone like, say, her mentor Captain Mar-Vell instead?

Perhaps more importantly: what exactly can Captain Marvel do in the face of a fully powered Infinity Gauntlet?

No Caption Provided

Carol Danvers traditionally gets her powers from her Kree heritage, making her similar to what we might expect from an Asgardian in the MCU, with a few twists. In the books she has enhanced durability, strength and speed, as well as the ability to fly and shoot energy projectiles from her hands. She also has an abundance of military and tactical training both on Earth and with the Kree army, making her a formidable force both in the heat of battle and in any war room–so it’s not that she’s incapable, by any means.

But all the training and superpowers in the universe seem dwarfed by the force of the Infinity Stones, even with the Infinity Gauntlet in the damaged state that the movie leaves it in, so it’s unlikely that she’ll be able to show up on Earth without some sort of back up and expect to make a difference. Luckily, there are a few other cosmic Marvel heroes who have been alluded to in the past who just might be able to lend a hand. We saw the Nova Corps in Guardians of the Galaxy, which paves the way for Nova to get involved, especially if Thanos destroyed the entire Corps when he nabbed the Power Stone from them, which would fit with Nova’s origin in the comics. And don’t forget Adam Warlock, who was referenced in the Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 post-credits scene.

Explaining Bruce Banner’s Relationship with Hulk in Infinity War

Spoiler warning: This post contains major plot details for Avengers: Infinity War, so proceed with caution.

Apparently, even the Hulk has performance issues from time to time.

After proving himself the undisputed champion of butt-kicking on Sakaar in Thor: Ragnarok (with a little help from the obedience disk embedded in Thor’s neck), Hulk gets a bit of an attitude adjustment in the opening act of Avengers: Infinity War after being soundly defeated in hand-to-hand combat by Thanos; the Mad Titan not only knocks Hulk unconscious, he also draws blood.

Elder Scrolls Online’s Summerset Expansion Makes ESO Feel Fresh Again

If The Elder Scrolls Online’s previous expansion, Morrowind, could be summed up in a single word it’d be “nostalgia.” The island of Vvardenfell was realized in gorgeous HD for the first time, almost exactly 15 years after The Elder Scrolls III first launched.

Now with its latest expansion, Summerset, ESO is taking a decidedly different approach when it releases on May 21st for PC and June 5th for Xbox One and PS4 by letting players visit the beautiful region of the high elves, the Summerset Isles, for the first time – well, unless you count its brief appearance in 1994’s The Elder Scrolls: Arena. So if Morrowind was all about nostalgia, Summerset is all about breathing new life into the now four-year-old MMORPG.
